- In no particular order:
- Ruthless People (1986) - My favorite movie, and sooooooooo very underrated. If you see any movie on this list, see Ruthless People.
- Road to Morocco (1942) - An old Hope / Crosby movie which I really loved.
- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) - A hilarious Steve Martin movie that is highly overlooked.
- Bachelor Mother (1939) - A Ginger Rogers movie that is actually very funny and zany. I didn't expect much, but I was dazzled.
- The Naughty Nineties (1945) - Abbott and Costello's movie which includes the timeless "Who's on First?" bit. For some reason, few people have seen it.
- The Circus (1928) - A lesser-known Charlie Chaplin movie, which is very funny.
- Start the Revolution Without Me (1970) - A slapsticky, weird movie starring Gene Wilder that no one seems to have heard of.
- Murder by Death (1976) - A very funny movie with an all-star cast (Peter Sellers shines)
- Soup to Nuts (1930) - Catch this one on AMC
- The Dinner Game (1998) - The only foreign film on the list, this French comedy is ripe with wild plot twists, and I gotta admit I loved it.

Everyone knows that "A Fish Called Wanda", "Airplane!", "Some Like It Hot", "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Young Frankenstein", and "Bringing Up Baby" are hilarious movies. But here's my list of slightly more obscure funny movies that I enjoyed immensely.
One of my favorite obscure funny movies is GET TO KNOW YOUR RABBIT.
If you loved RUTHLESS PEOPLE, you should also see TOO MANY CROOKS".
Good list! One of my favorite obscure comedies is Brain Donors - a Marx Brothers spin-off with John Turturro in the Groucho-esque role.
Would you consider The Party featuring Peter Sellers obscure? I would certainly call it funny.
I don't know if $42 Million (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and $71.6 Million (Ruthless People) at the Box Office, respectively, should be considered obscure.
